When someone you love is struggling, or even when you're the one struggling because of someone else's choices, it can be hard to know what to do to help them or to even help yourself. But no matter what is going on with those around you, you have the power and the ability to be a source of light. You don't need to join them in their darkness.

Instead, you can choose alignment with the Self, which is ultimately the greatest gift you can give yourself, another and the world.

Whether it's someone you love who is hurting right now or someone who has hurt you in the past, sending them love, wishing them peace, and seeing them happy is an amazing first step to bring healing to yourself or another.

You might feel that after what they did to you or to themselves, they are not deserving of your positive energy, but aren't YOU deserving of it? Don't YOU deserve to be free of worry, hurt and anger, and to finally feel good again?

Heck yes, you do!

Not everyone believes in the power of prayer, but I am a deep believer that whatever peace, love and happiness we create in our own lives has a direct effect on the lives of others.

We heal the world by first healing ourselves.

It's not up to you to fix another. It's up to you to bring as much peace, love and understanding as you can to each situation as it arises. And your best bet for doing that is to bring as much peace, love and understanding to your relationship with the hottie you live with 24/7.

That's YOU.

There is no "out there". There is no "other". There is only this moment and an infinite amount of mirrors inviting you to increase your ability to love yourself more fully.
